Website Makeover
« on: September 18, 2023, 20:45:06 »

Hello I am new to this website and forum. Even though I am new here I am wondering if a website makeover has ever been discussed? I am asking because I believe this website would look great if it was recolored blue and made widescreen, right know it only fills the middle of a 1920x1080 laptop screen like a column, if it filled the entire screen and the text was bigger it would be easier to see and read, especially for older eyes, and it would look really good recolored blue. For now though I can just zoom in with the web browser zoom controls.

Yes - but the problem is the site needs more than just a visual makeover. It wouldn't be too hard to just remake the front-end, but there's over 15 years worth of technical debt that needs to be taken care of in the site code itself.

Nothing against the poster but to the premise suggested, after all the shit this nasty ass community did to ostracise the designer and coder when complaints of bullying and abuse were raised.

The fact the site remains online is only because it was given away (some regrets for doing this, perhaps, but the toxicity of the users here wasn't worth the toll on my mental health).

The ‘housekeeper’ that I walked out on (Saga Musix) never ever had an ounce of empathy. Nothing has significantly changed since the walkout.
